A sterile, non-biodegradable device intended to be temporarily placed via a nostril into the nasal cavity after surgery or trauma to help minimize bleeding by tamponade effect, prevent adhesions between the mucosal surfaces, and provide support to the surrounding tissues during the healing period. It is typically made of plastic, silicone, and/or a blood/liquid absorptive material and is removed at the discretion of the physician. This is a single-use device.
